Hey Dakka readers

This is to serve as a blog for my blog of anything and everything. I tend to paint non- stop, and with summer gearing up, I expect that to increase.

First up

Looking at all of the Dark Eldar stuff on the web these days I wanted to try my hand at painting some.

This is a commission for some Dark Eldar painted as Kabal of the Poisoned Tongue. Please bear in mind that these are WIP




Group Shot!



Bigger Group Shot!!!!



Will post progress as it is made.

Thanks,

Dark Eldar Commission: Finished
Tonight I was able to finish the Dark Eldar Warrior Squad commission. This took me around 4 days, in addition to other projects I was working on.

I am very happy with how the flesh worked out, as well as the hair, highlights, and basing.

1/2 Squad


Other half

Up close and personal

Here are some of the individual figures that I thought came out fairly well. I went with an accent color of Solar Orange then a wash of Devlin Mud then a highlight of Orange again, followed by a further highlight of Skull White and Solar Orange.

I thought his face came out well


Dark Eldar Warrior

When highlighting the edges of the armor, it is key to maintain a slightly thick paint consistency. When your paint gets too wet, it will flood the crevices.

It is very important to paint all parts of the model. Neglecting small things like hair bands is very tempting, but it will detract from the figure. When you are putting 15+ hours into a squad, what is 5 more minutes?

These guys were painted with the Kabal of the Poisoned Tongue.

The bases were drybrushed with Codex Grey, Fortress Grey, and Space Wolf Grey. Bright green static grass was added. The rims will be painted black, but I wanted to get these up for you guys!

Thanks for looking, more pics at http://jackspainting.blogspot.com
